Why Parents Love Edcentrix SIS
|
Education doesn't stop when the bell rings.
|
|
There are projects to be worked on, supplies to be collected, books to be read, permission slips to be signed. Your
child's education does not stop when the school bell rings. It is easy to feel left out of the big picture when you are
buried in the details and at the mercy of how consistent your child is at giving you the announcements sent home by the
school. Edcentrix SIS gives you online access to school calendars, lunch menus, teacher notes, upcoming assignments and
supply lists.

Grades aren't earned in a day.
|
|
Everyone knows that term grades aren't earned on report card day. They are earned with every assignment,
every book report, every project turned in. As a parent you also know that rewards and correction are most effective
when given as close as possible to the behavior - good or bad. Edcentrix SIS gives you the ability to see your students'
successes and failures all throughout the term. Your child's teacher can easily communicate with you if an assigment
showed exceptional effort, or if they could use a little extra help in an area. How wonderful would it be to be able
to participate in their education at this level without the added stress of constant conferences. Edcentrix SIS gives
you the ability to take a step backwards and see the education process as a whole rather than in report card grades
and deadlines past.

Heading off problems is better than correcting failures.
|
|
Self esteem and personal responsibility are two of the hardest things to build in a child. You need to teach them
to focus on their strengths and also recognize their weaknesses. Edcentrix SIS gives you the tools you need to point out
the areas they excel in as well as the areas they need to work harder in. When they can see the immediate affects from their hard
work, it is easier for them to keep building in those areas. When they can see the negative affects as they slip in certain
areas it is easier to catch them right away and try again than it is to try to dig out of a hole.

The Benefits You May Not Have Thought Of:
As a parent you spend your day doing your best to keep your family moving in the right direction. There are
deadlines and schedules that aren't movable. You have to find ways to eliminate the chaos and preserve the
precious moments at every opportunity. Childhood flies by faster than anyone can ever really explain. Edcentrix SIS
gives you a window into the school day so that you can see problems as they develop rather than after they are
already failures.

How many mornings have you spent searching for permission slips, organizing lunch money and hunting for last minute books
to read for the book report due tomorrow? The age old communication method of sending home notes and announcements
is simply not the only option any longer. Imagine being able to check for activities, field trips, upcoming assignments,
missing assignments, etc. without ever needing to call or go into the school. What if you could see the homework supplies
needed before you left work rather than after a busy day as you try to cook dinner. Edcentrix SIS Parent Web interface
gives you the ability to see this information at any time of day, from anywhere.
Edcentrix SIS gives you a chance to identify strengths in your child. It allows you to see the areas they excel
in instead of just the overall grade. Maybe your child is a very dedicated and detailed worker, but struggles on tests.
How can you know this when all you see is a "C" for the overall grade. You can't see that they had all A's on homework
and daily work, but were failing the tests and quizes. How easy is this situation to correct - if only you know about it
ahead of time?
Personal responsibility is one of the hardest values to teach a child as they mature. If they are faced only with
rules and punishments it is so easy for them to slip into a mode of what "the world" is doing to them, rather than
how their actions are truly affecting their lives. Edcentrix SIS gives you the ability to easily and quickly see an
overall picture of your child's grades at any point in the term. Rewards and Consequences can be given throughout
the term for immediate reinforcement or correction. Your child can see right away how their actions affect their grades.
What Other Parents Are Saying:
"We first became aware of the value of Edcentrix, SIS when our oldest son began struggling
in school. We spent night after night on missed assignments and projects that had been assigned for months but that
were “due tomorrow”. We needed a way to keep on top of his assignments so that we could teach him to eventually
manage them himself. Calling his teachers at home each night or stopping in the classroom each day were not feasible
options. Thankfully, his teacher began using Edcentrix, SIS. We felt instantly connected and involved in his
education.
The fact that his assignments and grades were online gave us the opportunity to see assignments and projects
when they were assigned rather than when they were due. We were able as parents to see his current grades at any
point and catch them as they began to slip rather than after they’d already slipped past recovery. We could finally
reinforce the good behavior at school immediately, as well as apply consequences right away when he slipped into old
habits.
This new dynamic dramatically improved not only his schoolwork, but more importantly it improved our
relationship with our son. Any grade below the threshold meant no video games until it was pulled up. We would
check his grades with him each day. The answer to “Mom, can I play games today” became “Well, let’s look together.”
We could login and see the numbers together. The numbers became the determining factor on whether he played games or
not. The wonderful part of that was that he controlled the numbers with his behavior. It went from something “we”
were “doing” to him to something he controlled. He could see for himself that the numbers went up when he did well
and went down when he wasn’t putting as much effort into his work." Diane T
